MB's not trying to fool anyone - merely spare them.

Any movie with Lara Parker, Warren Oates, motorcycles, and Satanists can't help but be a little bit o' fun.
Oh, yes, it can. And, as I mentioned in another topic, one of my "favorite" reviews of RWTD likened the experience of watching it to enduring a human sacrifice. And, unfortunately, Lara's talents are completely wasted in the film. (Anyone who wants to see Lara in something worthy of her that's also from around the same time should watch '73's Save The Tiger. She only has a small part, but she packs more into it than in RWTD in its entirety.)

Besides, in my book, The Apple Dumpling Gang, Airport 75, Death Race 2000,and The Giant Spider Invasion were a helluva lot worse.
I didn't see Death Race 2000 either, so you might be right there. But I'd sit through 1000 showings of Airport 1975 or The Apple Dumpling Gang before I'd want to sit through another of RWTD. (Though others might absolutely disagree. )
